Chapter 2: A partner for the year
3rd POV
Ember and Luke were walking to the nurse's office, the boy still holding his nose to stop the blood from pouring out. Luke didn't expect to suddenly jump in to help Ember; he wasn't really that type of guy. His other friends might do it but since no one was around, Luke was chosen to pull Spark away from Ember. Yet the poor Lucario know he is weak in a way, since he is never into fighting. His favorite subjects have to do with technology and music, though his family look at him in shame and obviously know they can't change Luke.
Besides that, Luke is happy with his life, having friends and a fair place to live in. He couldn't ask anything more really…though there is a girl he really likes. Problem is that Luke can't even reach her. Like…he can't physically reach her, which upsets him a lot.
"Is your nose feeling better?" Ember asks her friend, having a curious look.
Luke blinks and nodded. "A bit…maybe it's best if I go to the nurse's office by myself," he said, looking at Ember. "Weren't you heading somewhere before?"
Ember seems to realize that what he said is true. "Oh! That's right! Well, I hope you feel better then Luke. See you later," she said, giving him a pat on the shoulder and walk to a different direction.
Luke just waves yet sighs in relief, since he felt like a bother that Ember want to walk him to the nurse's office. His ears then perked up when heard a group were coming down the hallway. He moved to the right to not be in their way and noticed it was a group of girls who seem to be ditching class. Luke knows exactly what the group of girls is, and they are pretty much popular in the school. They are known as The Plastics. The reason most students call them like that is because rumors said that the girls in the group do plastic surgery. Except for one.
Man I hate them so much… Luke silently thought to himself. Yet there was one girl he doesn't hate, and probably the girl that shines the most to him. After they pass by, Luke spotted the girl trailing behind, which is known as his crush. Her name is Flora, who is a Liepard.
Flora is a fine looking female in Luke's opinion, not to mention how sometimes she is so nice and kind to others, rather than her group of friends. Purple hair with pink highlights, along with her cat like ears and her long tail just makes Luke blush. She wears the uniform like every girl wears to school. The Lucario believe there is no one better than her, yet whenever he got a chance to talk to her, Luke always stutter or suddenly became very quiet. He has her as his science partner, and she seem to see him as a good friend, even though he can't talk much. At least they both share the common interest, which is music.
After the group pass by, he rushes forward to the nurse's office, hoping he wouldn't be spotted by then. Yet Flora noticed him going by before and watches him carefully. The Liepard have a worry look on her face, trying to ignore her 'friends' conversation. Once Luke left the hallway to the nurse office, she just sighs and continues to follow along the girls down the hallway.
Meanwhile…
Ember happily head over to the Newspaper office, willing to sign up and get her job. She actually can't wait to get started, though hopefully she wouldn't have to see Spark again. The Ninetales didn't get what was the big deal with the guy, yet he did say that he thought Ember was someone else. Now who could he possibly be talking about…what a weird guy Ember thought yet decided to ignore him for now.
She arrives at the office and noticed a teacher walk out of the room. Ember recognizes the teacher being new and young as well. He was taller than Ember though, having yellow mix with orange color of hair and a wicked looking tail, with a large lightning bolt at the end. His ears were a brown yet curled a bit at the tip. He is a Raichu obviously, just by the tail. Ember believed his name is Mr. Jolt, which is not bad for an electric type Pokémon.
Mr. Jolt adjusts his glasses that he is wearing and noticed Ember. "Oh hello…" he greeted and smiles at her. "Going to sign up for the newspaper job?"
Ember tries her best to not look annoyed when he is talking to her and just nodded. "Yeah, I am going to sign up." God, I hope there is not a lot of papers to fill out Ember pleaded silently yet smiles at the teacher.
The Raichu nodded then, and started to walk away. Ember watches him yet noticed he seem to be very odd, like not weird, but odd. Was it his eyes? She recalls the teacher having bright blue eyes yet Ember thinks she saw a red color within. Maybe she is wrong. Ember waste no time to walks in the office, and receive her job.
Inside the office, was a bunch of file cabinets, a desk with a computer and a large looking lady sitting on the chair, typing. The woman seems to notice Ember walking in and gave a large smile.
"Well hello there! I'm taking a guess that you are here for the job of a newspaper reporter?" The woman asks, facing away from her computer to Ember.
Ember nodded and said, "Yeah, that's pretty much why I am here for." Already, Ember guessed that the lady is a water type from by looking at her clothes.
"Wonderful! Now, this is easy to do. Just write your name," she said and grabbed out a clipboard with a pen. "…on this sheet of paper, along with phone number and address. And…that's about it!" She said cheerfully.
Wow, okay that was easier than I thought Ember thought and took the clip board and pen. She fills in her information and gave back the clipboard and pen. The woman took the clipboard back and put on her reading glasses. She is pretty much content yet she stop.
"Shoot, I forgot to say that you need a partner," she said and looks up at Ember.
Ember gave a blank stare as her head starts to process what she said. I need a partner? I need a partner? Okay wow, why no one told me this?! Okay, now who the hell will work with me? Flower can't do it since she is always busy. Moon is not an option since she can't really work well. Blast is too lazy to do this kind of stuff; Gray might be too busy with Moon or getting chased by girls. Luke might have a broken nose and he is not a good partner to have to be honest. Jake…well that's a no already for him being a pervert and already having a job at the movie theater. Who else can work with me…? Ember just stares at the woman as the lady waited for her answer.
"Um …well," Ember started, finding a solution and suddenly someone walk in the room.
"I can be her partner."
Ember has a confused look set on her face and look at who walked in the room. She stiffens a bit when realized it was the jerk, Spark. Why of all people that it has to be him? What? She then asks herself, not understanding why Spark wanted to be her partner for this job.
"Lovely! It's decided," the lady said, writing something in the paper.
What?
Spark chuckles and smiles at Ember. "Looks like we gonna be stuck together for the year," he said, almost too happy.
What?!
The woman suddenly got up and started to push them out. "Sorry guys, but you two are very late to class. Here, have my note to give to your teacher to excuse yourself. Have a nice day!" She said and slams the door shut after they well pushed out.
WHAT?!
Ember can't really control on how she feels, but one thing for sure that she is very upset. She sighs loudly and faces her partner with a serious stare.
"Upset much? It's only for the year so don't get too upset," Spark said, flicking her left ear.
That just ticked her off, and not only that, but her ear being flicked. Ember has sensitive ears and she hates when her ears are being played. "Alright, listen here. If you follow by my rules and don't push my buttons, then we might get along well," Ember said, her ears folded back.
Spark simply shrugs and nodded. "Okay, sounds fair then, so when do we start?" He asks.
Ember got a feeling that he has no idea what to do in the job since he just randomly jump in. "Tomorrow, and I will tell you what you have to do by then. We talk about it during lunch," she said and sighs, starting to feel comfortable with him. "Okay…so see you later," Ember said, saying her farewells for now.
"Yeah, adios blonde," Spark answered and started to walk off.
Ember's tails bristled when heard Spark call her a 'blonde'. She glares at him as he walks away and started to head to her class. Her life might actually change just by Spark's appearance and interactions. Ember finds it annoying but her lips twitch a bit and a small smile appeared on her face before she enters in her class.
It can't be that bad…
Can I say, I nailed it? Because I feel like I did xD hopefully it's not too short for the week, since I am going by the chapters from the original story. But hey, at least this can fill your taste buds a bit :3 I am planning to change my name yet…I want to do something fun about it.
UNTIL THEN SEE YOU LATER COOL CATS.
